Citation databases
Citation databases
Citation databases (citation indexes) are databases that track citations to published peer-reviewed texts.
In the Czech Republic, the two most important citation databases Web of Science and Scopus are used for R&D evaluation.
Citation databases are used specifically for the evaluation of journal articles and conference papers.
Web of Science
| Direct access | Remote access |
A bibliographic and citation database used for VaVal evaluation in the Czech Republic. Together with JCR evaluates the Impact Factor (IF) of journals.
WoS Components:
- Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded)
- Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)
- Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)
- Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI)
- Science & Technology Edition
- Social Sciences & Humanities Edition
JCR
| Direct access | Remote access |
A database of journals that are included in the Web of Science.
JCR provides information about Journal Impact Factor and also a list of impacted journals for a specific science.
The database is updated once a year.
For older volumes select an older JCR release.
The database allows:
- Search for journals according to specialization
- Search for journals by ISSN / title
- Display the list of all journals in the database
SCOPUS
| Direct access | Remote access |
The largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Its data are used for IS VaVal review in the Czech Republic since 2008.
The database also includes information on the SJR indicator for VaVal review in the Czech Republic
List of journals in Scopus - updated quarterly
InCites
| Direct access | Remote access (registration required) |
An analytical tool on Web of Science that enables to perform advanced analysis of publishing activities and the impact of research work on the individual, team, workplace, institution and department level.
Access: For access to InCites you need to register. If you already have your account in WoS, ResearcherID, EndNote, etc., you can log in with these data. More about registration to InCites. The inicial connection has to be done within the CTU network. Then you can access InCites anywhere exactly the same way; you do not have to log in through remote access (Shibboleth).
E-books
Electronic books are another important information source that can be used to study. Besides full texts, that can be read online or offline as needed, the database allows extra work with text - making notes and comments, highlighting text, etc.
CTU Library has access to over 60 000 e-books from a wide variety of publishers and platforms. Each platform or vendor offers different options or features for using e-books. However, using e-books may also vary across a single platform depending on the type of license. CTU e-book guide will help you find a specific title, explain the terms of use and show you how to work with e-books.
